In the previous article of this series, I've covered some of the basics on how you can make money online with affiliate marketing. In this post, we will see how you can earn loads of cash by employing affiliate marketing strategy.

Lately I’ve read a post where the blogger thinks that affiliate marketing is soon to be dead because of Google's recent updates and to his experience with affiliate marketing which led him to conclude that it's getting harder and harder to make money with affiliate marketing.

A few year back, affiliate marketing was compared to the rush for gold, many jumped on the opportunity and have found that gold while Google's recent updates simply wont allow any more to dig the way they did. I still think there's a lot of gold to be digged, the only difference is that today you should acquire marketing knowledge and use different approach and tools to dig for that gold which is still out there in huge quantities.

I found my self reading that posts comments, many of them opine that the days of affiliate marketing have come to an end thanks to Google. However, this is far from truth, and top affiliate marketers are raking in chunky commissions even today. Many of them will even tell you it's easier if you know how and what you are doing.

As long as there are people who are searching for information and products online, affiliate marketing will never die. I can agree with the argument that Google's recent updates has changed the affiliate marketing game and forced us to change the way we do business online, but I think that these changes are better for global internet users and if we, affiliate marketers, will adapt ourselves to the new methods affiliate marketing is forcing us to use, it might be easier to make money online simply because a big part of the new generation of affiliates aren't real marketers who are prepared to put the extra effort into their campaigns so, a big number of them are leaving the affiliate marketing arena and leaving us, marketers, a lot more of space.

I've seen many of them heading to FaceBook as they can reach a big slice of FaceBook members without really changing their affiliate game and some are making money but still, I think that real targeted buyers are easier to find on Google and although FaceBook has a bigger slice of the global internet traffic today, it's a social network and a big number of it's members are there for different reasons except for buying. Google can not be neglected, Google today is by far a lot more targeted and if you are planing to build an online business, you should adapt to it's rules.

Today, we will talk about affiliate marketing strategy that will have your subscribers jump in and buy what you are selling. So, instead of randomly picking up any product to promote, follow the steps mentioned below, and you will see that your sales will pick up and you will be earning commissions round the clock.

Affiliate Marketing Strategy

Choosing a niche: Ok, you are not creating your product, but you still need to select a niche where people are willing to throw open their wallets for you. But the trick is to find a niche where you don’t face severe competition. For example, there’s a huge demand for weight loss programs, but then, there is even severe competition in this niche. So, within weight loss program, you need to identify areas where the competition is less. For example, you can narrow down competition by selecting vegetarian diet food and even narrow down that sub niche to find a smaller one which still have the demand – searches with less competition.

Google's update – Adding Value to your webpage and Giving Value to your customers

Now, most affiliate marketers fail because they simply use a non search engine optimized landing page or they are using the same landing page as the product creator uses, they provide a link with a subscription box and except their customers to pay. Well, that was in the past. Google is not indexing these pages any more and banned users accounts who uses that strategy.

Today, you need to give value to your customers. Taking the vegetarian diet food example further, you should add value to your landing pages by having an SEO unique content of approximately 500+ words on it that is relevant to the page search terms while putting attention to the page meta tags, H's and all SEO components that a web page should have. If you are using WordPress there are many useful plugin's that can help you with these SEO tasks, and never place the subscription box at the beginning of the page, you can place it on the right side or closer to the end of the page.

You should change the way you used to think about landing pages. These are web pages that needs to be indexed and climb their way on the search engine results page – SERP. Use RSS submissions, article marketing, bookmarking, blog comments, social marketing strategies and content syndication plugin's etc. to build links to that web page, that's the way to build passive income from affiliate marketing.

You can prepare a report on say weight loss advantages of the vegetarian diet or whatever your narrowed niche is. You can also include tips on healthy cooking and some quick recipes in your report and if you are using email marketing, send them to your subscribers for free. Just ask them for their name and email address when they download your free report, without making any sales pitch at the moment.

You can also upload that report to free downloads sites so it can go viral and if you have followed Google's rules you could re-use their PPC platform to drive targeted traffic to your web page.

Your subscribers will definitely be impressed when they see a content rich report. After another week, you can create another report on say harmful effects of junk food. Try to include some research and statistics in your report to make it valuable. You can also engage in a conversation with your subscribers by asking them to post their comments and views on your landing page. Do make a sincere effort to reply to their queries.

And then, a week or so after that, you can pick up an affiliate program to promote vegetarian weight loss diet, and ask your subscribers to click on the link to buy the product.

Since you have created trust amongst your subscribers, you will see that they will not ignore your mail, and you will receive a better response.

The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you can promote another product after a few weeks in the same niche, or you can choose another niche of your liking. Whatever you choose, the above strategy will drastically improve your sales and of course your commission, and your list will grow bigger and bigger, with every successful offer.

I'll appreciate reading your thoughts, so .. Affiliate Marketing - Is The Rush For Gold Ended?

A variety of exploration methods disclose information regarding website visitors level and level of competition with regard to particular key terms.

  It’s vital to keep in mind that a numerous search terms may also help pull visitors. Definitely not all terms nevertheless happen to be equal when it comes to help your advertising ability.

As you probably already know I love to write about ways to get web traffic. It's a challenge and I just love to create new sites for my clients and to find new ways to achieve high ranking and to drive targeted traffic to these sites. This is going to be a long post so let's just dive into it :)

Forum marketing

Forum marketing is another effective way in which you can draw traffic to your website and it can be done by joining relevant discussion groups on forums. Although there are thousands of forums online and the more forums you join the better for you, you should take into consideration that in order to benefit with the traffic these forums can provide you, you should contribute to the community by posting relevant ideas or blog posts as empty profiles won't last for long, the forum webmasters will definitely delete your profile. You can take part in discussion topics and offer your expert comments. You can even insert your website links in your posts so that if forum members want to find out more about your website or company they can click on the link or better, create your forum profile signature using your site keywords so that in every post, thread or comment, you'll have your signature that carries your website search terms as a back link. If you plan to join several forums then you should use LSI keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing) as well and not only your site main keyword in your forum signature as LSI keywords are very important for high ranking in the search engine. If it's an authority forum then google will count that link as an important link to your site.

You will be able to get a lot of genuine people visiting your sites on such forums. Keep in mind that important forums do not allow to insert affiliate links in the signature so you'd better follow their TOS. If you are in the internet marketing niche, you can check my favourite forums (side bar) and if you aren't a member yet, I’d suggest you click the links and register, (not affiliate links). 

Traffic Software's

There are several software to increase traffic to your website. However before buying or using any traffic software you should read the review of the software as many traffic software's are bogus and they fail despite of making huge promises.

I've seen lately some new traffic software's on ClickBank market place and even promoted in the comments section (I’ve deleted these comments) by a few of this blog readers that promise you $ thousand of profit by simply investing $37 to $67 bucks and their very professional sales page clearly says that you need to do nothing more then click a few buttons. They also claim that you do not need a website, a product, you don't need article marketing, PPC, social networking marketing tactics, SEO or all the common ways to get website traffic. Yes, you just click 1, 2, and 3 and the money will start poring in. I would laugh if it didn't make me sad to know that there are new comers to our industry that will believe and will buy these software's hopping that they've stumbled upon the way to find the holly grail. Stay away (in bold), beware of these kind of promises, these are SCAMS and the products creators are scammers, sorry for being rude but there's no other word that will describe better these marketers.

I've been marketing online for a few years now and I can promise you, there's no such magic software and there are no other ways to generate traffic to your website in order to make money online BUT the common ways that involve all the traditional methods mentioned above, consistency and hard work. Follow these proven ways and you will certainly achieve the results you deserve for your efforts.

So lets talk a bit about effective Internet marketing software's. The purpose of these software's is to automate many tasks that you could have done manually. For example, article submission software's automatically register your information on more than 100 article directories and then automatically submit your articles with the resource box links after registration so in theory, we could get hundreds of backlinks from all of these article directories.

Internet marketers from all profession levels were using these software's to get the precious backlinks from high page rank articles directories but at the same time we knew that the same article submitted to hundreds of article directories won't benefit us as it did in the past, so we used article spinners software's to spin the article and we submitted spinned versions of the same article to get a higher number of backlinks. When google announced it's latest “caffeine update”, I've noticed that it doesn't index all the article versions and it doesn't count the way it used to count these backlinks even when they come from article directories authorities sites such as Ezine Articles, Article Base or Go Articles. As of today the article directories comes in the fifth or sixth place of importance after the social networks or web 2.0 properties in google's gods eyes.

I went back and checked my articles and discovered that google did pay attention to my spinned articles but it didn't indexed all of them although they had approximately 60% - 70% of uniqueness compared to the original version of the article. So, why I'm not getting the same number of backlinks I used to get from one spinned article?

Well, google is the internet leader and we're consistently testing our marketing strategies to uncover it's updates. While trying to figure out what it had learnt about article spinning I found that although my articles had a high percentage of uniqueness, google noticed that the format of my articles was the same, the exact number of words, paragraphs, the exact number of tables or image places, the exact number of links and the fact that they were in the same order and places in all of my articles.  

I guess “Caffeine update” is the right name for awakening and I think we should try different article marketing strategies, different ways to spin our articles and different approaches of content syndication.

I'm using "Answer Analyst" and “The Best Spinner” from Jonathan Leger, one of my most appreciated software developer and online marketers. His software has more then 1,300,000 synonyms and it's database is growing fast by it's users. As of these days, this is the best article spinner around. You'll be able to master this software in no time and it has all the features you'll ever need to get unique versions of your article built in.

Now, referring to google recent update, to spin your articles isn't enough any more. I'm still using the best spinner software and after I have some different versions of my article, I'm trying to read it and to change the paragraphs order, to place the images or my links in different places and by using the html version of the article it's quite an easy job to do. Although it takes more time to spin my article the new way, it results in getting the links I’m after as google is indexing each and every version of my article and again, i'm starting to get traffic from my article marketing campaigns.

Traffic, Traffic is that crucial factor that might decide if you'll make money online or will keep on dreaming about so, let’s talk about creating free traffic.

Today, to survive in the competitive environment, you need to take help of social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter etc.

It’s a fact that Facebook has more than 62 million subscribers and actually more then 400 million members across the globe, and just as you are reading this, hundreds more are being added. For your business, it means you have ample scope to funnel qualitative free traffic.

Let’s check out how you can do this.

Create Facebook Group
Now, in your Facebook page, you have an option called ‘Groups’.  Create your ‘group’ and name the group according to your business. For example, if your business is about 'website traffic', you can create a group called ‘website traffic’. Just think about using your online business keywords for the group name as it'll become a part of the facebook group url.

Send message to all your friends
Once you have created a group, send a message to all your friends. Try to send a personal message, not too long, just telling about you and what your group is about, and a request to join the group.

Now, as per Facebook statistics, it is said that each person has an average of 147 friends. So, say you send a message to 147 friends, and let’s say about 50 people join your group. Now, when these 50 people join your group, Facebook will announce it to all their friends, i.e. 50x147=7350. Imagine the exposure?..

Now, time for the viral effect to start. Out of 7350 people, let’s say, only 2000 people join your group, now again, it will announced to all the friends of these 2000 people, and the chain reaction will continue, and you will have lots and lots of people who are seeking ways to increase traffic to their website, join your group of 'website traffic'.
Now, the fun is, Facebook will give you email id's of all the people who join your group, and as such, you can send them an email directly to their email boxes. If you are promoting an affiliate product, or your own product, you can send your offer to all the people who have joined your group.

Also, Facebook is a social networking site. So, your group members are friends and friends of friends. And any offer coming from friend will definitely fetch more attention than if it came from an unknown source.

Again, all those who have joined your 'website traffic' group are highly interested in web traffic and will definitely be interested in any products or services related to seo, web traffic or make money online niches. So, you see, within matter of just a few days, you will have highly targeted free traffic by creating a simple group on Facebook.

Now, you can even make it better, and for that, it would be advisable that you don’t start selling your product immediately on forming a group. Instead, send your group some high quality content, interact with your group, ask them for their comments, and assume a role of a leader.

Have a time gap of say 15-20 days before you make any offer, and then, send them your link, again with a personal message, and you will see that conversions would roll in instantly, and the conversion rate would be much, much higher than your traditional marketing means.

Syndicate your content to FaceBook and ather social networking sites with this genius wordpress plugin to easily increase your groups members. WordPress Syndicator
